Fans have mostly loved David Benioff and D. B. Weiss’ HBO series, Game of Thrones. Having said that, recently, rumors have been circulating about a potential Game of Thrones Mmorpg in the works by Nexon, the company known for the video game, The Finals.
Set in the North between Seasons 4 and 5, with Winterfell and The Wall as the main settings, the game has generated interest among fans of the well-known series. Notwithstanding, despite the hype, Nexon has not yet confirmed the existence of the game. And for some fans, it is actually causing them to become skeptical and disappointed.
The concept of a Game of Thrones Mmorpg is not new; there have previously been several games based on popular TV shows and movies. However, with a new rumored game on the horizon, fans wonder why MMORPGs are coming up with the most cringe-worthy game designs.

Game of Thrones creators met with George R. R. Martin for the first time in 2006 to discuss the possibility of making Martin’s best seller A Song of Ice and Fire into a series. Martin revealed that he was approached by other directors who wanted to make his work into a feature film. However, David Benioff and D. B. Weiss shared the writer’s desire for a series adaptation and even answered his questions about his novel.

The finale of Game of Thrones aired almost five years ago, and since then HBO has been developing a multitude of spin-offs, prequels, and sequels to fill the void.
So far the only one to come to fruition has been House of the Dragon, which had the difficult job of drawing us back to Westeros after the disappointing end of GoT left most fans uninterested. Many doubted that the show could do the job, but they were quickly proven wrong – viewership for House of the Dragon started high and got higher as news got out about its quality. The first season holds a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes (Season 8 of the original series has 55%.)
But not all ideas are going to make it, and recent details about the Queen Nymeria project 10,000 Ships prove HBO might have been right to axe it.

Making a show in Westeros is no joke — there are dragons and battles, princes and princesses, gold coins and iron throne. Therefore, one can only imagine the production budget helmed by Game of Thrones. But what if we say that Taylor Sheridan surprisingly beat the HBO show with his Western spin-off 1923?
Taylor Sheridan in an interview with CBS News
While David Benioff and D.B Weiss’ Game of Thrones overall performed better than 1923, Taylor Sheridan significantly surpassed the show’s budget with his Western drama. Speaking with Deadline, the showrunner notified fans of the amount he sought for 1923, compared to the HBO show’s average budget per episode.

It's a rare movie or TV series that comes along and captivates the audience with little more than dialogue.
Seven episodes of dialogue, in fact. Donny Dunn, the narrator and protagonist of Baby Reindeer, walks us through a brief period in his life, allegedly based on the real life of Richard Gadd, the architect of the series.
It's not an uplifting story. Then again, tales of sexual abuse, violent stalking, drugs, psychological self-harm, and random bouts of hypersexuality rarely are.
After spending nearly seven hours walking the dank, twisting corridors of Richard Gadd's hippocampus, some sparkling nuggets of humanity begin to show through the murky darkness.
The human side of the villain is so rare these days. It's what made Marvel's Thanos a surprisingly understandable character. He was evil beyond belief but understandable.
George R.R. Martin is famous (or perhaps infamous) for finding the grey areas in human thought and motivation.

A bearded geek with glasses and a funny cap created the main fantasy saga of the 21st century, which approached the level of cult status of The Lord of the Rings. George R.R. Martin himself has always been a huge fan of J. R.R. Tolkien.
However, he draws inspiration not only from the pages of dusty fantasy novels, but also from movies and TV series. Martin, a screenwriter himself, wrote several episodes for The Twilight Zone in the 1980s, and the number of his unrealized TV projects is simply too many to count.
George R.R. Praises Six Feet Under’s Finale
Martin shared his favorite TV episodes on his blog, and the drama Six Feet Under, it’s final episode in particular, received special praise:
“[…] that last episode was far and away the best finale in the entire history of television, and I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly do better.

The HBO series Game of Thrones is deemed as another entry in the long list of TV series that captivated audiences for years. However, while fans have appreciated the show for its grandeur and mesmerizing storyline, the series finale turned out to be quite disappointing for most. And seemingly George R.R. Martin began dreading this very problem after season 5.

Leaving a trail of disappointment in their wake, showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss curtailed a certain major arc which made the ending seem abrupt. This particular approach that the show followed after season 5, began worrying George R.R. Martin. The author’s representative, Paul Haas, thus opened up about Martin’s thoughts on his behalf.

George R. R. Martin is best known for writing the “A Song of Ice and Fire” series of books. This series then went on to inspire the popular Game of Thrones HBO series. His fans would also know that he worked with game director Hidetaka Miyazaki on FromSoftware’s Elden Ring. This game too became a sensation, just like his previous work did.
This successful game really put FromSoftware way up in the list of game studios that can hardly do anything wrong. It is without doubt an incredible open-world game that gave soulslike fans a whole new world to experience. Elden Ring went on to be one of the most successful soulslike games out there and FromSoftware’s most successful game yet. Still, after getting so successful, George R. R.

All FromSoftware games, Elden Ring included feature some of the richest and rewarding lore in gaming. Hidetaka Miyazaki has a knack for creating worlds that are equal parts intimidating and intriguing, pushing players to explore every corner while knowing they could meet their end at every turn.
When it comes to the latest release, the studio was helped by another stalwart in the fantasy genre: George R R Martin. The creator of the Game of Thrones series was enlisted to help create the foundational aspects of the world’s history. You can see his influence throughout the story, and the most obvious one is the name of the location itself!

HBO has officially canceled its Jon Snow sequel project. Good news for fans of the Stark bastard? No. Good news for Game of Thrones fans? Yes.
Hear us out.
It Would Have Been A Hit
It's pretty much guaranteed that viewers would have tuned in to a Jon Snow sequel. Because the show would have taken place directly after the events of GoT season 8, it had all of the fan-bait that usually draws viewers: the comfort of well-known characters, the promise of cameos from old favorites, and a backstory we're all familiar with.
Heck, I hated the GoT finale as much as anyone else, and I still know I would have tuned in for at least the pilot of a Jon Snow series. I mean, does he stay in the North? How does he get over the death of his aunt/lover? Does he still know nothing?

Hidetaka Miyazaki’s Elden Ring has enough content and elements in the game to explore. In spite of the fact that the game was released almost two years ago, it still has a range of secrets waiting to be uncovered. Be it new caves, illusory walls, or secret bosses, players have plenty of things to find in FromSoftware’s masterpiece.
Elden Ring
Notably, some of the secrets cannot be found by playing the game alone. Seems like Elden Ring also has some hidden cut content buried deep within its files. These were recently dug out by a YouTuber and data miner.
Unused maps from Elden Ring leaked
The YouTuber ‘Sekiro Dubi’ had previously uncovered an alternate opening within Elden Ring’s files. This time, upon more digging, they have found some unused maps and assets in the game. Earlier, Dubi had discovered a lot of hidden assets stacked away in the game’s files.

When "Six Feet Under" came to Netflix in November 2023, I was eager to finally watch one of HBO's finest television shows. My father passed away in September, and while binging this series so soon after his death might seem like a masochistic endeavor, it was quite healing. One of the few things I knew about "Six Feet Under" was that many critics and audiences consider the final episode the greatest television ending of all time. As George R. R. Martin told Variety, "[T]hat last episode was far and away the best finale in the entire history of television, and I cannot imagine how anyone could possibly do better." Empire's review called it "almost unbearably moving and thrillingly executed."

After many years of several genres dominating the industry, like Fps or RPGs, one game changed it all and introduced its own new experience, and those games are Elden Ring and Dark Souls. FromSoftware, a Japanese studio, released the Dark Souls games, creating a fandom that keeps growing every year while also creating a whole new genre.
Hidetaka Miyazaki was the director behind this game, and he brought these IPs with no possibility of any difficulty setting; you can only play what the game offers. This was also in the latest popular studio game, Elden Ring, which added other new features, but the difficulty stayed the same.

When Elden Ring was released back in 2022, one thing was sure; it brought along the potential to expand faithfully on the ranks of the Dark Souls. Besides, one of the biggest USPs of the game was that it brought together the worldbuilding talents of the acclaimed fantasy author George R.R. Martin and the extraordinary vision of game director Hidetaka Miyazaki.

The world of Game of Thrones has always been an eventful one, irrespective of the fate that befalls the characters and the gruesome incidents that traumatize the viewers. But even for the audience who comes from a background of having read A Song of Ice and Fire, the HBO series could get a little daunting due to the nature of its transgressions from the original text.

Years later, the author, who noticed one such transgression, himself let his wrath be known for a line that was crossed by the actions of his own characters. In one radical change instituted by the creators of the HBO show, an incident that was fairly harmless in the books was transformed into a horrific plot device.

Game of Thrones’ overwhelming popularity inevitably led to HBO wanting more TV shows set in George Martin’s captivating world. Countless projects have already been pitched and rejected, but while some of them were questionable at best, others were promising and spectacular even based on their premises — and still ended up in the red-lit pile with the rest.
10,000 Ships Almost Sailed with Grrm’s Approval
One of the best ideas for a Game of Thrones prequel show was 10,000 Ships. In the original TV show, the legendary warrior-queen Nymeria was Arya Stark’s favorite historical figure and the deliberate namesake of the girl’s direwolf because of that. In George Martin’s lore, Queen Nymeria is among the most interesting characters.

Brian Helgeland was one of the writers working on a Game of Thrones spinoff that George R.R. Martin signed off on but one that HBO did not pick up.
In a new interview, Helgeland discusses why the tentatively titled 10,000 Ships series didn’t happen despite his saying his script “came out great.”
“I think they felt the period of my show was too far removed from the pillars of the original. That’s why it hasn’t been picked up yet, but nothing is ever dead,” Helgeland said in an interview with Inverse.
The Man on Fire and L.A Confidential writer says his script, “was based on Queen Nymeria and this little blurb about her that was in a Westeros encyclopedia.

Hidetaka Miyazaki on several instances has been called the master of foreshadowing, as it is something he has done over time with his releases including the Dark Soul series and his latest title, Elden Ring. What the renowned director has lined up for himself is the release of Shadow of the Erdtree Dlc to be released soon, and fans believe it might not be where the game’s storyline comes to an end.
Hidetaka Miyazaki is responsible for directing Elden Ring
Players who know deeply about Elden Ring’s storyline would know how it has a lot of cliffhangers and mysteries for the fans to solve. These open endings also hold the potential to eventually become Dlc for the game, but it would be wiser to focus on what direction Miyazaki might aim for if he decides to come up with more after Shadow of the Erdtree.

Elden Ring is without a doubt FromSoftware’s biggest game yet, and when it launched, it also became their most successful game. This was all thanks to its captivating world and engaging combat mechanics. This game, like most other Soulslike titles, was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, but one other big name was also involved with its development: George R. R. Martin.
George R. R. Martin was tasked with developing the fleshed-out lore for this massive soulslike game. He created more of the characters, and he gave all of them a back story. The story then became the whole basis of Elden Ring. Yet, the legendary writer refuses to take credit for this game all alone.

FromSoftware’s Elden Ring greatly builds on the brand’s ranks of Dark Souls. What makes Elden Ring all the more special is the fact that it brings together two of the greatest creators that the world has seen, the beloved fantasy author George R.R. Martin, and Dark Souls creator Hidetaka Miyazaki.
Elden Ring
While the game was directed by Miyazaki, the developers roped in the Game of Thrones to write for the game. Obviously, the results were expected to be top-tier and they definitely were on release.
Hidetaka Miyazaki on his meeting with George R.R. Martin
During an interview with GamesRadar+, Miyazaki spoke about his first-ever encounter with George R.R. Martin ahead of Elden Ring. He said,
“Yes, I have some good memories of those initial discussions. Not so much for the content but just the general feelings I had speaking with George Martin. He actually knew about the Dark Souls games.

Brian Helgeland is a popular name in the industry for his works in films like Mystic River and L.A. Confidential. The latter even blessed him with an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. The renowned screenwriter and producer was near to having his Game of Thrones spin-off series. However, the Ten Thousand Ships series never got a green light from HBO.
A scene from Game Of Thrones
The idea of Brian Helgeland’s Ten Thousand Ships was planned to be based on the mythological story of Moses. The structure and tonality of the story would have been very different from the main Game of Thrones series. Although Helgeland has stated that his script is still there and HBO can pick it if they want, it is highly unlikely due to the present political milieu of the world.

Game of Thrones, whether you liked the ending or not, was a major hit for HBO, and it is still regarded as one of the best series of all time, especially within the fantasy genre. We know that the service is currently preparing for the second season of the spin-off House of the Dragon, whose second season is going to premiere soon, but we also know that a prequel series titled Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is in the works and we have recently received some exciting casting updates for the upcoming series.
Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight is going to be a prequel series set within the same world, based on the Tales of Dunk and Egg series, which is a series of novellas written by George R. R. Martin. The series actually focuses on the adventures of “Dunk” and “Egg” (the future...

Jerry Seinfeld is still bothered “a little bit” by how “Seinfeld” ended. Let’s just say, it wasn’t as cinematic as his favorite finale ever: “Mad Men.”
Seinfeld, who makes his directorial debut with upcoming Netflix film “Unfrosted,” told GQ that while he doesn’t “believe in regret,” he couldn’t help but compare the “Seinfeld” finale to the “greatest” series finale of all-time with Emmy-winning AMC’s “Mad Men.”
“I feel ‘Mad Men’ was the greatest,” Seinfeld said. “A lot of people like the ‘Bob Newhart’ one. ‘Mary Tyler Moore’ was Ok. ‘Mad Men’ was the greatest final moment of a series I’ve ever seen. So satisfying. So funny.”
During the recent series finale of Larry David’s long-running meta HBO series “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” David and Seinfeld reunite onscreen to revisit the controversial “Seinfeld” final moments with the stand-up comic ending up in jail.

All "Game of Thrones" fans know the words Valar Morghulis, a Valyrian saying for "All men must die." That phrase almost proved prophetic when it came to HBO's attempts to whittle down the many spin-off shows at various stages in development over the years. Although "House of the Dragon" survived the culling to earn a second season, several others -- the Jon Snow-centric series, an untitled prequel starring Naomi Watts (which actually filmed a full pilot episode before being scrapped), and even a show set in the slums of King's Landing, Flea Bottom -- were doomed to the chopping block.
One of the more fascinating concepts, however, involved a famous figure from Westerosi history known as Nymeria. Titled "Ten Thousand Ships", this, too, never coalesced and we've never known why. Luckily, the folks over at Inverse recently had the chance to sit down with writer Brian Helgeland, known for "A Knight's Tale,...

With a little over a month away from its premiere, the anticipation surrounding House of the Dragons 2 is extremely high, thanks to the first one, which reinvigorated fans’ interest in the IP. Moreover, fans are excited to see how Lady Baela Targaryen’s story will expand in the new one, as despite having less screen time in the first season, she did succeed in leaving a lasting impact.
Although many were reasonably left impressed by Bethany Antonia’s portrayal of the character, a vocal minority online was upset following the diversity presented in the Targaryen/Velaryon clan. But Antonia didn’t let the trolls bring her down and came out as gay in response to one racist rant.

Brian Helgeland’s Game of Thrones spinoff, Ten Thousand Ships, is getting docked as HBO shelves the project before it can set sail. Helgeland, the director behind films like L.A. Confidential and A Knight’s Tale and screenwriter for the Tony Scott-directed crime drama Man on Fire, spoke with Inverse about the defunct project, saying it would have focused on Queen Nymeria, the warrior-queen who led the Rhoynar refugees to Dorne.
Helgeland speaks with Inverse and makes Ten Thousand Ships sound biblical in scope and story. He likens Queen Nymeria’s tale to the story of Moses, with survivors from a ravaged country setting sail for a new home.
“It came out great, but I think they felt the period of my show was too far removed from the pillars of the original,” Helgeland explained to Inverse about his spinoff. “That’s why it hasn’t been picked up yet,...

Brian Helgeland’s illustrious Hollywood career includes winning an Oscar for writing “L.A Confidential,” directing Heath Ledger’s beloved 2001 comedy “A Knight’s Tale” and scripting films such as “Man on Fire” and “Mystic River.” It also could’ve included a “Game of Thrones” spinoff series had HBO moved forward on his pitch, which was titled “Ten Thousand Ships” and centered on Queen Nymeria.
“It came out great, but I think they felt the period of my show was too far removed from the pillars of the original,” Helgeland recently told Inverse about his spinoff. “That’s why it hasn’t been picked up yet, but nothing is ever dead. My script was based on Queen Nymeria and this little blurb about her that was in a Westeros encyclopedia.”

It’s always interesting to hear developers talk about their processes, and Hidetaka Miyazaki recently talked about Shadow of the Erdtree. The highly anticipated Dlc for Elden Ring was announced over a year ago in February 2023, and since then, fans have patiently waited to experience it.
The Dlc is confirmed for release on June 21, and like the base game, it will be available for PS4/5, Xbox One/Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. With it comes a certain amount of expectation from fans, as many are expecting a much tougher challenge, and it has been confirmed by Miyazaki that this is the biggest expansion to date.

From the tiniest micro-organism to the far reaches of the universe, sci-fi adaptations have made a triumphant splash across multiple streaming platforms. For decades, the collective groans that routinely followed book-to-tv adaptation announcements were a given.
At the same time, many science fiction books are so steeped in lore, character motivations, politics, and scientific complexities that converting prose to a "show but don't tell" format is a tall task.
Star Trek, for instance, has historically been pretty cut and dry with its science. A phaser will vaporize you, and a transporter will, well, transport you.
Now, imagine explaining the three-body problem from a show but don't tell approach.
Thankfully, the rash of exciting new sci-fi adventures solves these riddles with filmmakers and writers who are passionate about the material.

George R. R. Martin is an incredible author. He has been proving his expertise in the art of creating worlds for well over 30 years now. He is known for writing A Song of Ice and Fire series of books, which inspired the popular HBO series Game of Thrones. Then he went on to work on Elden Ring, one of the most successful Soulslike games of all time.
He worked on Elden Ring with FromSoftware and the game’s director, Hidetaka Miyazaki. While this game retained all the Soulslike genre’s conventions, it still went on to become a big success. This was in no small part due to George R. R. Martin’s involvement with it. While he says he only worked on the game’s lore, many fans think he left more than just some stories in this game.

In the world of Westeros, Fire & Blood isn’t an exact retelling of the events that went down in Targaryen history. With so many sources, there’s no single narrative that is entirely factual.

The release of Elden Ring was a huge deal not just because it was FromSoftware’s first true open-world game (and their biggest), but also for the involvement of storied author George R. R. Martin, who laid down the foundation of the action-rpg’s world.
A collaboration between these two legends is something no one could see coming, but boy did it bear fruit. Elden Ring not only became the most successful FromSoftware title, it also won the 2022 Game of the Year award. Now, as fans eagerly await the release of its Dlc, Shadow of the Erdtree, many wonder how Martin has contributed to it.

9 Years Later, Prime Video's Best Sci-Fi Show is Still Unmatched (and Its 95% Tomatometer Proves It)
Sci-fi is a great way to deal with controversial issues like politics without getting into controversial issues like politics. That was one of the great successes of what is still (in my humble opinion) the best sci-fi show on Prime. But I'm not the only one who thinks so. The show has a 95% rating on Rotten Tomatoes and an 85% rating on IMDb.

Game of Thrones and its not less successful prequel House of the Dragon are all about realistic medieval vibes until their main fantastic feature comes up on stage. With the help of gigantic dragons that have been like a part of the Targaryens’ family all along, the fight for the ultimate power takes even more drastic turns.
And while House of the Dragon shows the Targaryens thriving and taking advantage of the strength they’re given by their peculiar pets, Game of Thrones is a lot different about this matter — and may even prove that dragons eventually caused the Targaryens’ end.
Though it may seem like dragons in George R.R. Martin’s universe are just there to help when the fight is about to start, the bond with their masters is much deeper than it appears to be. The dragon usually receives its rider when it’s still inside the...

When Hidetaka Miyazaki announces a game, fans are aware of two things for certain. First, it’s going to have some rich lore that is not provided as simple exposition. The second is that the combat system is going to be challenging but also rewarding.

FX’s Shōgun is having a fantastic run and the series is fast approaching an epic finale. The 10-episode miniseries is based on the 1975 novel of the same name by James Clavell. Ever since the series dropped, some fans have been comparing the series to HBO’s epic fantasy show Game of Thrones. However, fans of George R. R. Martin’s work couldn’t agree with some claims that Shōgun outperformed the eight-season behemoth.

The series created by Rachel Kondo and Justin Marks currently has a 99% critics score on Rotten Tomatoes. However, fans believe that the single-season historical drama could never match the fantastical world-building of Game of Thrones.

FX’s Shōgun is undoubtedly a great series with universal acclaim.
